Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Midtown East
Midtown East may be home to the city’s most famous toy store, FAO Schwarz, but rooms are often tiny and finding a great hotel for the family can be tricky. That’s why we compiled a list of the best hotels for families in the area.
Fifty Hotel & Suites by Affinia
Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States
Families love the Affinia Fifty, given its safe, convenient location in Midtown East, its large rooms (most of which sleep at least four people with sofa beds and can attach to other rooms), and its laid-back lounge with plenty of board games. Affinia also runs a popular "Jet-Set Kids" promotion, where young guests receive a New York City guidebook for kids, plus NYC stickers, a scrapbook, and even a digital camera.
Loews Regency New York
Upper East Side, New York City, New York, United States
Loews will make your kids feel like VIPs. Age-appropriate welcome gifts -- from Etch-a-Sketches to iTunes gift cards -- and in the spring, kids often get backpacks and jump ropes to use at nearby Central Park. Free milk and cookies await in rooms. The Library restaurant in the lounge has a kids' menu, and every other Sundays the supper club, Feinstein's, puts on a sophisticated magic show.
Omni Berkshire Place
Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States
Though most guests are business travelers, children are definitely welcome at the Omni Berkshire. At check-in, all kids under age 12 get a suitcase filled with games, puzzles, and coloring books, plus a kids cup with unlimited refills anywhere in the hotel. Housekeeping's standard turndown service includes milk and cookies. There's a kids' room service menu for the Fireside restaurant that includes, among other items, ants on a log, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and grilled cheese (no crust!). Rollaway beds or a folding cot are available for $30/night and cribs are free.
The Kimberly Hotel
Midtown East, New York City, New York, United States
At the Kimberly, all guest rooms are large, multibedroom suites. The one- and two-bedroom suites are a good choice, as they come with kitchenettes and an additional queen sleeper sofa in the living room. Cribs are free and rollaway beds are $30 per night. The Midtown East location is near the American Girl Store and FAO Schwarz.
